Privacy

Standard Apache logs are kept, recording certain details of every HTTP[S] interaction. These logs are deleted after 28 days. Beyond that point only anonymous statistical data is kept for reporting purposes.

The UIS reserves the right to keep log files if an investigation is under way for the purposes of assisting with the investigation.

Details stored in the standard Apache log files:

Internet address of connecting client

Authenticated user id

Time stamp

Request made

Server's response code and number of bytes returned

The "user agent" string identifying the make of client
